Anyone here uses the ankle to strike for a roundhouse kick in sanda? You chamber up like a TKD roundhouse and then strike out with a flexed instep (like WTF TKD) but you strike with your ankle. Upon contact, you push the kick through like a muaythai roundhouse. Used it to some good extent for roundhouse kick to the waist and thighs, but I still reserve instep kicks to head and shin kicks to the thighs and calves.
Can someone share their views on this fashion of kicking?
kicking with the ankle…
chambering it like tkd but pushing it thru like mt..
sure… sure…
I completely encourage you to use this method, especially if you ever plan on fighting any of my guys
Yeah I noticed that this works really well on the heavy bag too. You can transfer way more power like this. Also if you kick a little bit in the down direction.
hmm… many ways to plant a sanda round. that’d be one…
also see blade, instep, ball, heel, toe clip for a small point strike, and did I miss any???
why would you use the blade or tip of your toe for a roundhouse?
cause self-mutilation is an entertaining pasttime.
lol… seen a few executed with top-side of foot and had similar thoughts myself
7*…did you find those Earle Montaigue dim mak charts ?? could you really not be that accurate or see the point???
Earle Montaigue dim mak charts
Need I say more 
Can I see the point of throwing a ROUNDHOUSE with the BLADE of my foot? No. A sidekick, perhaps, but not a roundhouse.
Can I see the point of throwing a ROUNDHOUSE with the tip of my toe? No. A front thrust kick, perhaps, but not a roundhouse.
Look, I kid you not about this. Why don’t you try kicking the bags for a start and see what I mean. I didn’t believe it myself either at the start. Just execute any roundhouse but strike it with ankle area (make sure your toes are pointing down).
TRY IT FIRST, THEN POST ME A MESSAGE ABT YOUR EXPERIENCE.
how about, raise knee, pivot foot, and kick.
clean simple, effective. nuff said
How 'bout step,don’t bother pivoting, kick.
7*,
I think Jungle is confused about what he saw. I’ve watched a lot of Sanda guys coach people on their roundhouse and they actually **** near do kick with the ankle. It would be an easy mistake to make watching them. It’s still the instep but a lot of them, in China at least, have learned to angle the kick downwards on impact like you often do in a MT round for extra ‘dig’. But they still kick with the instep not the shin. So what ends up happening is they contact with really the OUTSIDE, the more radial part of the instep. It looks weird to me but that’s how lots of them do it.
It’s not the ankle but it sort of looks that way.
firstly, from what I’ve seen personally, I believe Earle Montaigue to be a respectable makker and ma er in general.
7*, I’m probabbly calling it wrongly with terms, but to me a round covers inside and outside execution. I find they both have a purpose, and as far as I’m conerned, a variation’s a variation and you can never have too many.

I actually figured he meant the heel, not the ankle, but what you are saying makes perfect sense too. My comment wasn’t toward him though, it was toward bl:

how would you deliver it with the blade or tip of the toe? try to describe it… I can’t see that happening.

Is this the kick you are referring to?
I am afraid you are all wrong about my interpretation, I am talking about the area between the shin and the instep. Saying this, I am not saying this is the best way of striking, but it does have its merits in delivering power. I know this sounds really wierd, but this is how I was taught.

not quite, and a round doesn’t neccessarily need to be so high…because I’m bigger on point strikes, and some of those points need to struck with a small weapon ( like a knuckle, heel, toe, spear etc) in a certain direction, like outward in left to right etc etc, I find it useful. May never need it, but when it needs to got to at range…???
Just might be able land it.

don’t worry about the height - it’s irrelevant. It’s a round kick. apply it to any height you wish. since you say that’s not quite it, find a pic of what you are talking about. I think you are talking about the same kick, only the instep should be flexed. I can see hitting with the heel or ball ofthe foot that way (although I’d never do it), but the blade or tip of the toe? No.

Is that Dim Mak with your toe?
Front thrust should be with the ball of the foot or the heel.
